The answer to that question lies in the
"free". You can dive without all that heavy cumbersome equipment.
You are streamlined, quiet and stealthy. You experience the ocean
as dolphins do - free to swim up, down and sideways. You can truly
experience "soar like an eagle".

Being free gives you
the opportunity to be quiet and move silently underwater. This stealth
is great for underwater photography of cautious creatures, spearfishing,
etc. Click on the link below to read how such stealth aided the freeing
of an entangled humpback whale.

Port Elizabeth Diving

What's great about Port Elizabeth (PE)
for divers?

Topography:

PE has a fairly unique coastline. There is Algoa
Bay - it is a wide bay about 60 km across. The prevailing winds are from
either the east or west. There is often an opportunity to dive as
compared to a coastline where there is no sheltered bay. Three islands
within the bay make great tourist attractions and the diving at these
islands can be spectacular. At the eastern extremity of Algoa Bay is Bird
Island - this area, now declared a marine reserve, also has some great
divesites. The relatively warm water and variation of sea life and dive
conditions makes PE a fine dive destination. Sheltered spots close
inshore make for relaxed and safe diving for aspiring divers.

The Ocean is NEAR!

Unlike cities such as Cape Town and Durban, the
launchsites and very good dive sites are only a few minutes drive away, 20
km max! Early dives before work and late afternoon dives are an option -
even a lunchtime dive is possible! Beat that!

Weather:

The PE weather is great - generally very mild and the
water temperatures are also quite warm. There is sufficient wind to
relocate pollution so the air is mostly fresh and and clean.Sometimes there is a wind. Rain is rather scarce making for plenty
of sunshine.
